London (CNN)Cristiano Ronaldo just can't stop collecting trophies.
The Real Madrid star overcame competition from rivals Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr. to claim the Best FIFA men's player of 2017 for the second year running in London Monday. Ronaldo can add the accolade to the league and European trophies he won with Real Madrid last season.
